Heartbroken sensitivities drive not only the crackling vocal delivery of young mellow pop prodigy, ROLE MODEL, but also direct the thematic explorations of his romantically downtrodden lyricism and accompanying production. When in April we were last gifted with one of his moving creations, he released not a fan, an angsty ballad delineating his subtle dismay for a love interest and the consequential drama. 

 

With his newest, play the part, he reverses the relationship and pimps himself out as a loveable role player in a romantically confusing situation. The result is another relatably simplistic, oddly content anthem for the DIY generation. A new-age love song sur the understood complexities of relationships, play the part and subsequently ROLE MODEL are ahead of their years musically and emotionally.
